These are the children born to a Campbell father and McCreath mother, I am not sure the last is theirs:

Surname First name(s) Mother District Vol Page
Births Sep 1930   (>99%)
Campbell Ian J A McCreath Devonport 5b 414
Births Jun 1932   (>99%)
Campbell Hugh F McCreath Plympton 5b 277
Births Mar 1940   (>99%)
Campbell David I McCreath Bristol 6a 456
Births Sep 1948   (>99%)
Campbell Robert J McCreath Wirral 10a 1074

However there were no other Campbell-McCreath marriages from 1920 to 1955 on FreeBMD, or on FindMyPast, to account for any surplus offspring (not that this proves anything!).
